馃敟 Vacant abandoned buildings on Hope Street in downtown continue to be a magnet for homeless and dangerous structure fires. This is not just a DTLA problem, our @LAFD Firefighters respond to fires at the same vacant structures every single day throughout LA with the most understaffed big city fire department in the country.

This afternoon, a brush fire in Eagle Rock along the 2 Freeway spread to a nearby home, destroying the structure and causing the evacuation of nearby neighbors. @LAFD Firefighters successfully contained and extinguished the fire with the help of LAFD Air Ops. While no residents were hurt, a LAFD firefighter sustained minor injuries.

It is with incredible sadness that we acknowledge the off-duty death of LAFD Captain II Christopher Yokoyama on July 6, 2026.
Captain Yokoyama was a 25-year veteran of the LAFD most recently assigned to Fire Station 95 in Westchester. He was a mentor, friend, and brother to everyone who had the pleasure of knowing him. More importantly, he was a loving husband and father of three children.
May God Bless the Yokoyama family and all who loved him. He will be missed and will not be forgotten.

Today is National PTSD Awareness Day.
When firefighters respond to emergencies, they witness tragedy, trauma, and loss that most people will never experience. While protecting our communities is an honor, those experiences can leave lasting psychological injuries that deserve the same recognition and treatment as any physical injury.
The @IAFFofficial, @CAFirefighters, and UFLAC have been leaders in spreading awareness and promoting legislation to protect our first responders and enable them to get the help they need.
Today, UFLAC honors every firefighter who has struggled in silence, every family who has stood beside them, and every organization working to improve behavioral health in the fire service. Together, we can continue building a culture where seeking help is a sign of strength - and where protecting those who protect us remains a priority.

We received word from the LA City Clerk that our UFLAC led citizen initiative to FundLAFire.com has received enough valid signatures to qualify for the November 2026 ballot. Thank you to everyone who supported our efforts to hire additional firefighters and paramedics, build more fire stations, and purchase more fire trucks, engines, and ambulances in the most understaffed big city fire department in America. This initiative isn't about politics. It's about finally funding the @LAFD with guaranteed, dedicated revenue so that we can show up on time when just a matter of seconds can mean the difference between life and death. 馃檹馃殥

Today, June 5th, is the 9-year anniversary of the tragic passing of @LAFD Firefighter Kelly Wong, who died on June 5, 2017, from injuries sustained during an on duty training exercise. At just 29 years old, Kelly鈥檚 commitment to service to our city was only surpassed by the love he had for his family, especially his wife, Danielle, and his son, Colton. UFLAC honors memory and celebrates his life, today and always. May God Bless and watch out for the Wong family.

At one of the busiest fire stations in America, @LAFD Firefighters at Station 11 in Pico Union respond to an average of 41 emergency calls each day. About 80% of these responses, ranging from drug overdoses and assaults to structure fires and medical emergencies, are directly related to the homelessness crisis. The current situation is simply unsustainable and has got to change.
